What do you have edging your borders?

My allotment is on a brand new site just opened this year, and although I have my plan in place for the middle of the plot I'm at a loss as to what to put around the borders.

Some people have put fencing and others low trellis' around their borders but I fancied an evergreen plant.  


Thanks x

I inherited a lavender hedge on one side and a mixed evergreen hedge to make an L-shape on the windy side...............nothing on the other side :blink:

Plot came with variations on privet, hawthorn, ivy and hawthorn and various oddities which have been grown over what were random patched netting fences long ago. Hard work to cut but worth it for the defence from prying eyses.

Whatever you put in - consider future plot holders though. Not everyone has the facility to deal with monster hedges.

tin roofing sheets length ways, keeps the wabbits out of my plot

it's very very open and windy on my lottie so maybe a solid side (or 2) would be needed aswell,
 

I've read somewhere that solid barriers aren't the best for windbreaks, creates turbulence behind them or something.  :blink:  I'm going down the lavender / gooseberry route....

I have that darn marestail!!!! ARGGGGHHH!!! LOL!!

id have holly as a boarder evergreen and nice to take cuttings for Christmas decorations.
